This project will take place with 7th-11th grade students from both campuses at the end of the 2009-10 school year. On day one, students will:
be bussed to a central location
be divided into groups
of approximately ten students and two teachers per group
with each group containing students from both campuses and a variety of ages
compete against other groups to "find Elvis" by particpating in a variety of projects that integrate subjects
some of these projects may require a teacher(s) to prepare a short lesson given to the students prior to the completion of the project
be given a clue to "find Elvis" upon completion of each project
be provided with a sack lunch
On the morning of day two, students will work at their respective campuses to complete the technology component of the project. Group members will communicate with each other via technology (e.g. email, chat, Moodle, Etherpad, Google Docs). Judging of the technology component will provide the groups with an additional clue. All clues will be looked by the groups during the afternoon, in order to obtain the answer to "finding Elvis".
